How to enable ‘Save and Quit’ option in Firefox 4

If you’ve recently updated to Firefox 4, then you must have noticed a new design and some new features. But there’s one very handy feature ‘Save and Exit’ which is missing in Firefox 4, but was available in previous versions of Firefox browser. However, there is a quick and easy way to get back this option, which restores all the tabs opened in the browser on re-opening Firefox 4.

To Enable ‘Save and Quit’ feature in Firefox 4, just type about:config in the address bar and open it. Enter browser.showQuitWarning in the Filter tab. Double-click the entry named browser.showQuitWarning so that its value changes to ‘true’. That’s it!

Thanks. FYI, all the 3 buttons “refresh,” “stop” and “go” are still present in Firefox 4 but at a different position. You can locate them at the end of address bar (close to left side of search box). 🙂

Hi, it didn’t work for me either, so I went into Options as Belstrom advised, and I also noticed that among the “When Firefox Starts..” options, there is an option to load your previous tabs/web pages on opening Firefox. So I clicked on that and closed my browser. This time there was no Close Tabs warning at all..however, when I reopened Firefox, it automatically opened my previous tabs! So this should work for everyone 🙂
